Thanks Mo. I got it OK but am struggling a bit with permissions.
Not expecting anyone to jump and help until after the Bank Holiday! [Smiley]

Hi Mo
Thanks for that, I wanted to do that as well.
I had to change something in the line you wrote.
It had a dollar sign in it, where the full stop should be.
Hope that helps anyone else trying it.

0was Hi all,
0was
0was Some of you may be interested to know I have recently upgraded my old
laptop, following discussion on list as to what to do with the XP machine,
and am quite happy with its upgrade to Windows 7 Basic. Though not mega
fast, it's very useable now and working well.

0was Yesterday I managed to add it to my Windows 7 (Premium) Home Group.
However, since that time I've decided I'd really like to change the basic
computer's computer name to something I'll remember.

0was Do I need to tell the Basic edition to leave the Home Group, then change
the computer name and join the group again?
0was
0was Well, this of course assumes I can change the computer name at this stage.
Does anyone know if I can and, if so, where I am able to do this.
0was
0was Thanks for any help in advance.
